Rumah Terbuka


Had a busy day today. After the eid prayers, members of the family started arriving and after exchanging pardons, we had our main meal of rice, lamb chop, chicken and prawn. It was in-deed an enjoyable annual eid get together.

In the afternoon, went to my wife's family house to visit my in-laws. Wow! What a crowd that gathered when we arrived. There were the cousins in their numbers, the uncles and aunts, the brothers and sisters in-law, the nephews and the nieces. Drinks were flowing, cakes were served and consumed. It was an enjoyabe outing especially for my children, meeting all the people as well as collecting green packets during the house visits. And not to forget, more rice, plenty of beef and chicken.  Even the rain could not hamper the fun. Such were the free spirits among children which we as adults seems to forget that we once have as we grow older.

We were all so knackered when we got home and barely had the energy left as I write this piece... Well nighty night... Will write again tomorrow.
